Use Body Language to Communicate

Masada brought up an important article on translation services for AFF. There won't be much capacity for that really on any Online Site, since the basic charges are reasonable for Gold membership for a year.

There are Sister Websites for people who don't speak or write English including for the Filipino, Chinese, Latino, Korean markets.
Here you can convert the English Profile to Chinese language. You can locate translation services depending where you live. There are Asian Communities all over the World outside of Asia. In Seattle, you can find translators at the Int'l Community Health Services where it's necessary for their diverse ethnic patients. So each individual should study more English to be able to communicate here on this site. I know I meet many Japanese and Chinese students in Seattle who come to study here.

But here, on AFF, most people do understand some English.
They might not able to write much in correct English grammar, but at least I think the Asian Women speak some English.
But a lot of the men here lived in Asia already, and can speak several languages. I'm personally looking for men who spent some time in Japan and know about Japanese culture.

Whether it's studying Japanese, or those who might of taught English there or worked there for their companies.
So that they do have a step ahead on my list, compared to White guys who had no contacts with Asians before or have studied about different cultures.

Some people on AFF, do live in Europe, they speak Spanish, Greek, German, French, Turkish, Arabic besides English.
English is the international language for Worldwide Business and personal relationships. There's many intercultural marriages going on, worldwide depending on where you live and what are your interests lie.

Still I feel there can be mis-communications between men and women even with the same race and cultural upbringing.
From my personal experience, I couldn't always communicate with my Ex-husband who went to the same high school as I did and grew up in the inner city in Seattle, where I grew up too. But he never exchanged emails with me, so all our communications were verbal and body language.

When a couple are in front of each other, then you have to use body language to get the messages across. A gaze across the room is a gaze towards the opposite sex. Then verbal language can be optional, right? Love and passion are international! It's only living together day to day can be difficult and it's necessary to talk about certain issues in deep thought.

Please read more of my blogs. If you have comments or opinions, please let me know. Good luck in your search for love and happiness. Thank You!

Culture and language are like red tape you must cut through. I think the key here is two people who share a common emotional intelligence and are willing and smart enough to realize the red tape is just an artifice.
